China: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2025-0086
China’s MY 2025/26 sugar production is forecast at 11.5 MMT, up 500,000 MT from the MY 2024/25 estimate, as planted areas continue to rise and weather conditions remain favorable. China has intervened to curb sugar syrup and premixed powder imports; as a result, raw sugar imports are poised to increase. As consumption continues a slow rebound, China’s MY 2025/26 sugar consumption is forecast to remain unchanged at 15.7 MMT.
